2015 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · MM65 AEC

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 24 October 2025 at 125,580 miles with no defects recorded. The test two days earlier on 22 October 2025 at 125,538 miles returned a failure, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the wider history from 2022 to 2025, every recorded test passed with no advisories, showing the Mercedes-Benz E has avoided recurring wear-related or structural issues across its recent life. Mileage has accumulated in a broadly typical pattern for an 11-year-old vehicle, rising from 87,371 miles at the 18 March 2022 test to 102,723 miles by 16 June 2023, then 115,771 miles on 17 July 2024, and 125,580 miles by October 2025. This equates to roughly 11,400 miles per year and reflects steady use rather than prolonged standing or aggressive high mileage. The gap between the March 2022 and June 2023 tests exceeds the standard 12-month cycle, suggesting the car may have been off the road or simply tested late, though it still passed cleanly when presented. Given the clean MOT record with zero advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the previous owner appears to have maintained the car to a standard that suppressed minor consumable wear before each test. The oddity of a defect-free failure in October 2025 warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code, as it may relate to documentation rather than roadworthiness. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, since MOT passes with no advisories do not certify absence of early-stage rust or worn components. Particular attention should go to the front suspension arms and rear brake calipers, where age-related degradation commonly emerges on this era of Mercedes-Benz E-Class despite a clean test sheet.
